Play-by-play announcer Hector Molina and color analyst Billy Russo will serve as the Chicago White Sox broadcast team on Spanish station ESPN Deportes 97.5-FM, the team said Wednesday.

Molina has served as an announcer for Spanish broadcasts of games for the Sox, Bears, Bulls and Cubs for nearly 30 years. Recently, Molina worked with Telemundo Wisconsin covering the Milwaukee Brewers.

Russo has broadcast games for the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP) and has covered the Sox for the team’s Spanish website (orgullosox.com) for the past two years.

“The White Sox are dedicated to providing all fans with the very best broadcast coverage in both English and Spanish,” Brooks Boyer, the Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing, said in a statement. “The Latino community in Chicago is an important part of our fan base, and we are thrilled to have such experienced and talented Spanish-speaking broadcasters joining our team.”
